17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic beauty of a Whooping Crane, as captured by renowned ornithologist and artist John James Audubon. The image is part of his iconic work "Birds of America" which remains an invaluable resource for bird enthusiasts and scholars alike. In this particular study, the young Whooping Crane stands tall with its striking plumage on full display. Its beak, pointed and poised, reveals the precision with which it hunts for food in its natural habitat. A sense of vulnerability emanates from the scene as an alligator lurks nearby, reminding us of the delicate balance between predator and prey in nature. The intricate details captured in this print allow us to admire every feather that adorns the crane's body. From its webbed feet to its elegant stature, Audubon's meticulous attention to detail transports us into a world where these magnificent creatures roam freely. While there is a touch of sadness surrounding this image due to the presence of a lifeless creature lying at their feet, it serves as a reminder that even amidst death, life continues to flourish. This juxtaposition invites contemplation about our own mortality and how we can appreciate each moment we have on Earth. Overall, this print captures both the gracefulness and vulnerability inherent in nature while paying homage to Audubon's extraordinary talent for capturing avian wonders through artistry and scientific observation.
